Prudence can catch thousands of cicadas, and be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.

Xia Fan was not polite to Liu Hongsleeve.

The so-called eat a trench and grow a wisdom.

He didn't want to repeat Wanyang's mistakes.

Not to mention Liu Hongsleeve, even the cold smoke made him quietly ban his body.

No way.

Xia Fan didn't fail to believe them.

is too lazy to play with them, let alone have the brain to play with them.

Not to mention cold smoke.

Let's talk about willow red sleeves alone.

She is not the same as Cold Smoke.

Leng Yan was forced to take refuge in himself, while Liu Hongsleeve succumbed more to his threat.

It's hard to guarantee that she will have other thoughts against her heart when the time comes.

Rather than so.

He might as well learn from Tianshan Tong's grandmother and directly place life and death talismans.

If you want to unlock his ban, one great grandmaster is not enough, not to mention how many great grandmasters will help them lift the ban?

But it's not enough to just give a slap and not a sweet date, he still understands the principle of grace and power.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not a devil after all. ”

Facing Liu Hongsleeve, who bowed her head and was terrified, Xia Fan comforted her with a smile.

"From now on, you will be my man, and if someone bullies you, you can give my name. ”

"Childe ......"

Liu Hongsleeve suddenly smiled bitterly and was speechless.

So far.

She completely let Xia Fan pull her on the thief ship, and she couldn't jump if she wanted to.

She should have known.

Offending the great grandmaster and trying to get lucky is simply whimsical.

But there are pros and cons to everything.

As Xia Fan said, there is a peerless great master as a backer, and basically Liu Hongsleeve doesn't have to look at other people's faces.

Here's the problem.

As a last resort, Liu Hongsleeve didn't dare to move out of Xia Fan at all.

After all, she is still the Thrush's person.

Once she reveals that she is Xia Fan's person, she will undoubtedly draw a clear line with the thrush, and she will even be labeled as a traitor who eats inside and out.

Even though Thrush Fang may not dare to kill himself for Xia Fan's sake, Liu Hongsleeve himself can't get over the hurdle in his heart.

She doesn't have too much affection for Thrush.

But she can't be ashamed of the master who raised her.

If it weren't for the master who brought her into the thrush boat back then, I'm afraid she would have become a plaything in the house of a big man by now.

Although the master has long since passed away.

Even before dying, she made it clear that she was her, and the thrush boat was the thrush boat, if one day, she was tired of the thrush boat and the rivers and lakes, and she could pursue the life she wanted.

She is free.

But Liu Hongsleeve could not forget the kindness of his master.

So much so that she transferred this favor to the thrush boat.

Over the years.

She has always been conscientious in completing the tasks given to her by the thrush.

And Yingzhou is the boundary she is responsible for.

Under her years of operation, the tentacles of the thrush boat can be said to be all over the counties of Yingzhou, and all the wind and grass on the rivers and lakes cannot hide from her ears and eyes.

With the more information in hand, the more information you have.

The more she realized that this world was like cooking oil on fire, and the undercurrents were surging everywhere under the seemingly stable status quo, and sooner or later earth-shaking changes would erupt.

The battle of Wanyang was enough to prove that her inference was not wrong.

On the surface.

It was a counterinsurgency war of the imperial court.

In fact, behind the scenes of this war is a covert game between various forces.

Once this intensifying war came to the fore from behind the scenes.

Are there eggs under the nest?

She had already warned the Thrushes.

However, the thrush boat turned a deaf ear.

Therefore, Liu Hongsleeve had to plan ahead.

At least after the world really collapses, she can protect more of her own people in addition to self-preservation.

Like her disciples and followers.

This is the obligation and responsibility that she must bear.

She was a woman, a woman who hadn't even touched the threshold of a grandmaster.

If even the thrush boat ceases to be a haven for them to rely on, then they will have to find a way to save themselves.

And Liu Hongsleeve is just saving herself in advance.

For this reason, she did not hesitate to take the risk of clinging to Xue Ze, just hoping that there would be a shield before the catastrophe came.

However, how can the Grandmaster be fooled?

Until Xia Fan appeared.

Liu Hongsleeve has still not made substantial progress.

It's nothing more than her reluctance to use her apprentice Yingying to consolidate the relationship between the two.

Right now.

She finally didn't have to worry anymore.

Because Xia Fan made a choice for her.

It's just that the price is a bit heavy.

"It's time for me to go. ”

Satiated.

The things that need to be talked about are also over.

Xia Fan naturally had no reason to stay any longer.

"Where is Childe going next?"

Liu Hongsleeve hurriedly said.

"Qinzhou. ”

Xia Fan walked out of the cabin and stretched lazily.

"There are a few kids waiting for me over there. ”

"Childe...... The slave family has a request that I hope you can grant. ”

Liu Hongsleeve hesitated for a moment.

Say. ”

Xia Fan looked at the brightly lit Yunmeng Riverside Road in the distance.

"Childe, can the slave family implore you to take Yingying away from Nanjun together, and at the same time, there is someone to take care of Childe on the road. ”

Liu Hongsleeve gritted his silver teeth lightly, as if he had made a great determination.

"Give me a reason. ”

Xia Fan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Because Xue Ze's son, Xue Ran, has been secretly sending people to investigate Yingying's whereabouts these days. Liu Hongsleeves said with a bitter expression. "If this continues, the slave family is worried that sooner or later the warbler will not be able to hide. ”

"That's it?" Xia Fan pouted. "Wait until Lao Tzu personally goes to Xue Ze and asks him to restrain his son. ”

"Childe can't!"

Liu Hongsleeve subconsciously stopped him.

"Why?"

Xia Fan wondered.

"Childe, I hope you can consider the situation of the slave family. Liu Hongsleeve hurriedly explained. "Once you find Xue Ze, Xue Ze and the imperial court will inevitably become suspicious of the slave family afterwards, once the identity of the slave family is exposed, everything that the slave family has worked hard in Yingzhou and Nanjun will be wasted......"

“...... What is the relationship between you and Xue Ze?"

Xia Fan thought for a moment.

"A relationship that takes advantage of each other. Liu Hongsleeve said without concealment. "Because the slave family has another cover identity in Nanjun, the leader of the Golden Shark Gang, the largest gang in Nanjun. ”

"I didn't expect you to be a helper?"

Xia Fan suddenly looked at Liu Hong's sleeves with great interest.

Childe smiled. ”

Liu Hongsleeve said with a little shame.

In fact, the leader of the Golden Shark Gang was not Liu Hongsleeve at first.

To be precise, she was the wife of the helper at the time.

The question is, would a woman from a thrush boat marry a man for no reason?

No.

Nobody knows.

This leader of the Golden Shark Gang has been a puppet supported by the Thrush Boat for a long time.

It's just that Liu Hongsleeve pretended to marry the puppet for the sake of a cover identity, and then naturally took over the puppet's gang leader.

Don't look at Liu Hongsleeve, who is as well-behaved as a quail in front of Xia Fan, but in the eyes of the Golden Shark Gang, she is a ruthless "black widow".

Since Xue Ze'an was in Nanjun, Liu Hongsleeve was the first person to lead the crowd to join him.

With the help of Xue Ze's prestige as a grandmaster, the Golden Shark Gang quickly became the largest gang in Nanjun without accident.

In a way.

Liu Hongsleeve and the Golden Shark Gang can be called Xue Ze's number one dogleg in Nanjun.

In Xue Ze's eyes.

Liu Hongsleeve is a woman who is quite useful.

But that's about it.

And all Liu Hongsleeve needs is a backer.

So they hit it off with each other and took what they needed.

"In that case, I won't embarrass you too much, take me to see the warbler. ”

Xia Fan thought for a while.

Liu Hongsleeves are indeed not suitable for exposure now.

After all, he is here to solicit people, not to demolish the other party's platform.

As for the warbler?

Let's just drop by and pick up a passenger.

Anyway, after leaving Nanjun, she does what she likes to do, and wherever she falls in love.

"Thank you for your kindness. ”

Liu Hongsleeve breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately.

At her command, she asked the ship's Sakura and maidservant to untie the ship's anchor rope and begin to sail down the river.

"By the way, why don't you let the others send Yingying out of Nanjun early?"

Xia Fan stood at the bow of the boat, feeling the cold wind blowing in his face.

"Because the slave family is not worried, Yingying, this child leaves the slave family's side. ”

Liu Hongsleeve, who was waiting behind Xia Fan, said with melancholy.

"Yingying is a hard-working person like the slave family, her mother died early when she was a child, and her father was a gambling idler, when she was eight years old, her father sold her to Tianxiangyuan ......"

"The slave family couldn't bear to let her fall into the red dust at a young age, so they included her under the wall, so the slave family treated her like their own daughter......"

"But you finally pushed her out to pick up the customer!"

Xia Fan said disapprerovingly.

"Because the slave family needs to use this to make her recognize the nature of men in this world!"

Liu Hongsleeve said softly.

"Lest the little cabbage that I worked so hard to raise will be arched by a pig in the future?"

Xia Fan laughed.

"The slave family just doesn't want Yingying to follow in the footsteps of the original slave sisters. ”

Liu Hongsleeve said gloomily.

"Is she, too?"

Xia Fan turned his head and inadvertently glanced at Cai Sakura, who was hanging his head in the distance and was silent.

"Saizakura is not. Liu Hongsleeve shook his head and said. "Sakura, this kid is a little different. ”

"Would you choose Qinglou mainly to collect money and listen to information?"

Xia Fan didn't ask much, and instead diverted the topic.

"Childe sees it clearly. Liu Hongsleeve said calmly. "Because most men in the world can't hide secrets between their beds. ”

"Hehe......"

on this.

Xia Fan didn't know how to answer, so he could only laugh it off.

"Of course, this doesn't include people like Childe. ”

Perhaps realizing that his words were missing, Liu Hongsleeve hurriedly added.

"Don't be nervous, although I am a great grandmaster, I am also a man with normal physiological needs, but at our level, this need can be regarded as dispensable. ”

Xia Fan waved his hand, and said indifferently.

He's not unfeminine.

As he said.

Sometimes he really doesn't have an interest in it.

Again.

If he looked at ordinary beautiful women seriously, it would be like seeing a ghost.

It's like looking at a woman with a microscope and a face full of mite pits, even the most beautiful of women.

However, if the martial arts are cultivated to a high level.

This can be improved a lot.

For example, cold smoke and willow red sleeves.

They can still be eye-catching.

“......”

Liu Hongsleeve heard the words, but was silent.

About half an hour later.

The boat gradually docked at a pier on the riverbank.

Liu Hongsleeve did not let Cai Ying and the maidservant follow, but led Xia Fan to a courtyard on the outskirts of the city alone.

Walk through a dense forest.

In the distance, you can see the outline of an annex.

"It smells of blood. ”

Suddenly.

Xia Fan's nose moved slightly, and his face instantly said solemnly.

"I'll go over and see what's going on. ”

As soon as the words fell.

Before Liu Hongsleeve could react, Xia Fan's figure disappeared in front of him.

The next moment.

Xia Fan appeared in front of the gate of an elegant and simple courtyard, and when he entered the ground, he saw a lifeless corpse lying on the ground.

He ignored the deceased and went straight into the courtyard with the gate open.

Ultimately.

He stopped in a courtyard.

Because he saw a man.

A dead man who was dismantled in pieces, and the dead man's head hung on the eaves of the room in front of him.

“...... Xue Ran?!"

At this time.

There was a disbelieving exclamation in Liu Hongsleeve's ears.

"He's Xue Ze's son?"

Xia Fan frowned and stared at the wide-eyed young man's head on the eaves and said.

"Oh no!

Liu Hongsleeve suddenly remembered, and rushed into the room in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Soon.

She walked out of the house and said to Xia Fan with an extremely anxious face.

"Childe! East! The warbler is in danger!"
